I’ve never felt so whole after completing a book.  This is THE best multi-generational family saga I’ve ever read (and I do love to read them).  I both hated and loved that we only got to spend a chapter with each character-hated because I longed to learn so much more from each person’s life, loved because I can see how the pivotal moments of each person’s story contributed to the family more and more.  Each character was unique and so beautifully and completely developed. Everything about this book was perfect. This will stick with me forever. “Welcome home”❤️
